Chapter 619: Breakthrough

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Wu Hongzhong and Wu Hongxiao looked at Wu Hongxin on the ground, who was gasping for air like a gossamer thread, their eyes wide with disbelief.

They had come to Primordial Sword Sect prepared for any possibility, even encountering a strong late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert with predetermined plans on how to handle it.

But they absolutely did not antic.i.p.ate the situation unfolding before them.

Wu Hongxis Combined Apertures were at the Fifth Transformation, just a step away from the late stage, and with others sharing the damage, he was first severely injured by one move, and then another blow left him on the brink of death.

At this moment, they clearly understood that Chen Feis strength far exceeded theirs.

While Tan Chunyi and the others had some precautions against Chen Fei, their highest estimate of his strength only reached the mid-Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Having the three Wu brothers come here should have been a foolproof plan, but ironically, this foolproof plan had now led to the biggest oversight.

Kill!

Wu Hongzhong roared, slamming his palm against his chest, causing the blood in his body to flow backward suddenly.

Not only the blood but also the elemental force within Wu Hongzhongs body reversed instantly, and a tremendous pressure instantly pressed down on his Combined Aperture.

The Combined Apertures trembled violently, then collapsed inward abruptly, settling at the position of a low-grade Combined Aperture.

All of Wu Hongzhongs elemental force instantly flowed into the Combined Aperture, then surged out immediately, causing the elemental qi of heaven and earth to oscillate within several miles and converge towards the courtyard.

Wu Hongzhong lifted his head slightly, looking towards Chen Fei. In an instant, he achieved the Sixth Transformation of Combined Aperture, truly entering the realm of late-stage Combined Aperture.

Although it was only the lowest-grade Combined Aperture, late-stage Combined Aperture was late-stage Combined Aperture. Wu Hongzhongs combat power took a significant step forward in an instant.

If he couldnt defeat Chen Fei in the mid-stage of Combined Aperture, then in the late stage, Wu Hongzhong refused to believe that he would still be powerless!

All the cultivators of Primordial Sword Sect stopped what they were doing, some looking towards the direction of the Tingfeng Pavilion with astonishment and suspicion.

Just moments ago, they sensed the intense tremors of elemental qi, and now, instead of calming down, the elemental qi of heaven and earth was gradually intensifying.

Qu Qingsheng was considering whether to go to the Tingfeng Pavilion to see what was happening when Chen Feis clone appeared in mid-air, soothing the emotions of the crowd.

Meanwhile, several miles away from Primordial Sword Sect, Fu Xuanye, who was slowly retreating, looked forward with some surprise.

Compared to the cultivators of Primordial Sword Sect who only sensed the disturbance of elemental qi, Fu Xuanye, with his cultivation at the mid-Combined Aperture Tempering realm, felt a rhythm within the fluctuation of elemental qi.

This kind of rhythm usually only occurs when a martial artist at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm breaks through, causing a resonance of the elemental qi of heaven and earth.

To be able to perceive this fluctuation, it was evident that the person who had broken through had a high level of cultivation.

Late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm? Fu Xuanye couldnt help but wonder.

Just now, three mid-stage Combined Aperture cultivators had flashed past, but at a time like this, how could someone suddenly break through to the late stage of the Combined Aperture Temperign realm Tempering realm? It seemed too peculiar and untimely.

Indeed, it was untimely. If given a choice, Wu Hongzhong would never have chosen to break through in this manner.

Their goal had always been to condense a high-grade Combined Aperture, and they even harbored thoughts of condensing a top-grade Combined Aperture.

If they could achieve a top-grade Combined Aperture, then there might still be a glimmer of hope for reaching the Mountain Sea Realm in the future.

It was precisely because of this ambition that the three of them continuously consolidated their foundation, strengthening their pure elemental force and making all preparations for reaching the Sixth Transformation of Combined Aperture.

But today, facing the power of Chen Fei, if they didnt force a breakthrough, they might not even have a chance to escape.

Relying on his profound foundation, Wu Hongzhong completed the breakthrough in the blink of an eye. From this, it could be seen that if it were just a breakthrough to the late stage of the Combined Aperture Temperign realm, it wouldnt pose any difficulty for him.

However, in the current situation, even with his deep foundation, condensing a low-grade Combined Aperture was already his limit.

Its not that he couldnt further refine his Combined Aperture, but there was no time, and the environment here didnt allow it.

The iron hammer in Wu Hongzhongs hand smashed down towards Chen Fei.

Compared to Wu Hongxins Hammer of Heaven just now, the situation changed drastically when wielded by Wu Hongzhong, who was at the late stage of the Combined Aperture Temperign realm Tempering realm.

With no way to escape, the Hammer of Heaven kept enlarging, filling Chen Feis field of vision.

In the courtyard, the terrifying pressure completely crushed the gra.s.s on the ground, with the sap seeping into the soil, and the soil continuously sinking under the pressure.

In just an instant, the entire courtyard sank a few inches.

Wu Hongzhong confronted Chen Fei head-on, while Wu Hongxiao rushed towards Wu Hongxin.

Wu Hongxin, severely injured and dying, their minds connected, and they could clearly sense how dire Wu Hongxins condition was at the moment. If they didnt treat him soon, he might truly die here.

It was precisely because of this that Wu Hongzhong acted without hesitation, willing to sacrifice everything, even if it meant severing his path in the future of martial arts.

Boom!

The entire courtyard trembled violently, and a tremendous force shot into the sky.

Chen Fei used his fists instead of a sword, breaking through Wu Hongzhongs attack like a bamboo, and then, with unabated momentum, he punched Wu Hongzhong in the chest.

The immense force surged straight into Wu Hongzhongs body. Whether it was the resistance of his elemental force or the defense of his physique, they all seemed insignificant in the face of this punch.

Wu Hongzhong stared at Chen Fei with wide eyes, his expression filled with disbelief.

Why, even after reaching the late stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, was he still so vulnerable? A low-grade Combined Aperture might be weak, but even at its worst, it was still the late stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

At this moment, Chen Feis aura also revealed that he was at the Sixth Transformation of Combined Aperture.

Both were at the Sixth Transformation and even if it was a martial artist with a top-grade Combined Aperture, it would take at least dozens of exchanges to suppress a low-grade Combined Aperture like Wu Hongzhong. How could Chen Fei completely overwhelm him with just one move, without even using a magic weapon, but with bare hands, leaving him powerless to retaliate?

Wu Hongzhongs eyes were full of confusion. He couldnt understand why this was happening, why his opponent, without even resorting to a treasure, could render him helpless with just bare hands.

Forcibly breaking through from the fifth stage of Combined Aperture to the late stage didnt bring about any changes.

Poof!

Wu Hongzhong sprayed out a mouthful of blood mist, staggering backward a step. Before he could recover from his stiffness, a hand reached out and firmly grasped his wrist.

Wu Hongzhong tried to struggle, but the strength in the opponents hand was like a towering mountain, rendering him powerless to resist.

Boom!

Chen Fei grasped Wu Hongzhongs hand, swung him around, and smashed him onto the ground. Wu Hongzhong was embedded in the ground, completely losing all resistance.

Like Wu Hongxin, he was now on the brink of death, severely wounded.

In the blink of an eye, before Wu Hongxiao could even lift Wu Hongxin from the ground, he heard commotion from behind.

Instinctively, Wu Hongxiao turned his head, his pupils involuntarily shrinking. Wu Hongzhong, who had already reached the late stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, was now dying on the ground, no different from Wu Hongxin.

What happened?

Wu Hongxiaos mind went blank in an instant, unable to comprehend.

Compared to Wu Hongxins severe injury earlier, although Wu Hongxiao was extremely shocked and angry, he ultimately endured it and made the necessary responses, even preemptively severing the shared damage among the three of them.

But at this moment, Wu Hongzhong, who had clearly completed the breakthrough, still lay there without the slightest resistance.

What kind of monster was this Chen Fei? It was already unimaginable for him to reach the late stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, yet his combat power was still so exaggerated!

If even the late stage of the Combined Aperture Temperign realm couldnt handle him, then what level of strength was required?

Peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm?

If there was such strength, why would they need to come to Primordial Sword Sect in the dead of night?

A figure appeared in front of Wu Hongxiao, and he snapped out of his daze. The Combined Aperture within him seemed to collapse, like Wu Hongzhong, forcibly breaking through to the late stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Although he knew that even at the late stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, there was still no resistance, Wu Hongxiao still wanted to fight back. He didnt want to die so easily.

Bang!

Chen Feis fist struck Wu Hongxiaos chest. Wu Hongxiao tried to dodge backward, with the iron hammer held in front of him.

But it was futile. Chen Feis fist broke through the iron hammer like breaking dry twigs, unstoppable.

Wu Hongxiaos back was arched directly by the blow, and then he collapsed to the ground, his mouth and nose filled with blood.

And because of the failed forced breakthrough, Wu Hongxiaos Combined Aperture shattered directly, and elemental force rampaged within his body, making his breath even weaker.

Chen Fei withdrew his fist and looked down at Wu Hongxiao.

Wu Hongxiao trembled, trying to lift his head, and his gaze met Chen Feis.

In the next moment, a hint of confusion appeared in Wu Hongxiaos eyes, but soon, his consciousness in the sea of knowledge automatically operated, bringing him back to clarity.

Illusion Technique? Trying to extract information from us, you are simply delusional

Wu Hongxiao thought of the mental technique Chen Fei had just used on him, a sneer on his face. He was about to mock Chen Fei when his words abruptly stopped. A sword light swept across Wu Hongxiaos neck.

Wide-eyed, Wu Hongxiao looked at Chen Fei, filled with unwillingness, before collapsing to the ground.

Chen Fei turned to Wu Hongzhong and the others. With a flash of sword energy, their breaths were completely extinguished, and three sword essences entered the Qianyuan Sword.

For Chen Fei now, opponents at the mid-Combined Aperture Tempering realm were already too weak. As for those at the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm, they were no match for Chen Fei, let alone those who had forcefully broken through to the late stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm like this.

Whether it was physique, Combined Aperture, elemental force, or martial arts, Chen Fei crushed everything, and there was no room for any unexpected events.

Death Shadow Sect, didnt expect you to come to the Sea Peak City!

The Dream Entry Technique wasnt very effective against martial artists who were just a step away from entering the late stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm like this, but Chen Fei still managed to glean some information.

And for Chen Fei now, even this small amount of information was completely sufficient.

With a wave of his hand, the bodies of Wu Hongxiao and the others turned into powder, and the Qiankun Bags along with three mid-grade magic treasures fell into Chen Feis hands.

Chen Fei glanced at the three Qiankun Bags, his expression slightly changing. Among them were numerous jade slips containing martial techniques.

Putting the magic treasures into the Qiankun Bags, a beam of light emanated from the center of Chen Feis eyebrows, looking towards the southeast, where a figure was silently retreating.

But under the gaze of his Heavenly Eye, Chen Fei could see that person clearly..
